I have a Dell Inspiron 15r n5110 as well. I have modified the patch I found here

http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.10

and now it recognizes my mouse as a touchpad.

When loading the original patched psmouse.ko, it reports for my trackpad:

alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64
alps.c: E7 report: 73 03 50

After adding an entry in alps.c for 0x73, 0x03 , 0x50 and recompiling the module it works.

I have copied the entry for the dell vostro 1400, and changed the 0x02 to 0x03. I don't know yet if the other settings are OK for my touchpad, but at least it is detected as such...
